Police will not say how many Kiwi victims of sex offending entertainer Rolf Harris have come forward, but are encouraging any others to contact them.

Ten new alleged victims have been identified since Harris' trial in London earlier this year. Some of the new claims related to alleged abuse in New Zealand and Australia.

Police here have this morning refused to say how many complaints have been made to date.

"We continue to encourage anyone with information about potential offending by Rolf Harris in New Zealand to contact police," a spokesman said.

"We will not however give any details about information received as we don't want to discourage anyone from coming forward."

He said all information received would be assessed to determine what further steps may be required.

"This may include offering appropriate support to victims and sharing relevant information with the Metropolitan Police."
